Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 172 The risk of losing your head is a little less!
Zhu Di tilted his head and asked with a smile, "When did you wake up? Did the little padded jacket play tricks again at night?"

During this time, Miao Yun was lethargic.

Waking up so early must have caused the little padded jacket to be punched and kicked in his stomach.

The closer it was to giving birth, the little padded jacket seemed to be more impatient.

Before, Miaoyun would wake him up when he woke up, but today he definitely wanted him to have a good rest.

The two get along day and night, and there are no secrets about some daily things.

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "It will only be a while after waking up..."

As he spoke, he yawned.

"It's not me! It's the little padded jacket. She's turned black and white, and she's going to sleep now."

Zhu Di was amused, stretched out his hand and pinched Xu Miaoyun's Qiong's nose, got up and put on his clothes, and said, "I'm very confident about a child's exam, so don't go to the exam room today."

"That won't work." Xu Miaoyun habitually stretched out her hands, "I think it's very interesting. Now I'm taking the little padded jacket to send you to the exam. When the little padded jacket is born and I will take the exam next year, I can hold her and send you to the exam. .”

Zhu Di smiled and bent down, letting Xu Miaoyun hook his neck to get up.

He never thought of it for two lifetimes.

There will be such a day.

His wife and daughter sent him to the examination room for the exam.

Well, no matter who said it, he wouldn't listen, and firmly believed that Miaoyun's pregnancy must be a little padded jacket!
After hastily getting dressed, he helped Xu Miaoyun get dressed and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will try for the sprint test, that is, at this time next year, when our little cotton-padded jacket is one year old, you and little cotton-padded jacket will give it to me Go to the test."

Xu Miaoyun nodded with a smile.

The two washed up and pushed the door out of the house, stunned.

"Master, Master." The children had already woken up, and they stood neatly in the corridor, and after they came out, they bowed neatly.

next door.

Mingxia, the little maid who was helping Ma Xiuying comb her hair by the window, heard the movement, opened the window curiously and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh: "These children are quite sensible."

"Children from poor families are already in charge of the family." Ma Xiuying said with a smile.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun took the children past the window, and when they saw it, they smiled and said hello: "Mom, let's go downstairs to order breakfast first, what do you want?"

"It's all right, we will eat whatever you eat."

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun took the children downstairs.

Not long after, other children taking part in the children's examination also came to the lobby one after another.

The accompanying adults couldn't help being surprised to see the children of Tuqiao Village getting ready so early, playing and discussing in low voices around the table, and secretly observed Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun.

Not long after, Ma Xiuying also came down.

During breakfast.

Zhou Shixian hurried over, and when he saw Zhu Di, he panted and said, "Mr. Zhu, I'm late."

Zhu Di smiled and comforted: "I said it yesterday, you are busy with your work, you haven't eaten yet, sit down and eat."

After Zhou Shixian sat down, he said while eating: "Mr. Zhu, my mother asked me to hire a few carriages. After dinner, we will take the carriage to the examination room..."

Ma Xiuying looked at this slightly reserved boy.

Not much contact.

But at first glance, you can tell that he is a sincere young man.

Even the matter of hiring a carriage should be clearly stated as his mother's reminder.

Also as a mother, if she wants her son to make a good impression on others, she definitely doesn't want her son to say that she thought of such a thoughtful and meticulous arrangement.

She would hide it deeply, making others think that such a meticulous and thoughtful arrangement was all thought of by her son.

The boy's mother certainly hoped that the boy would do the same.

It's just that the boy is too sincere...

The boy's father is Zhou Lang.

Former Jiangning county government servant.

I heard that at the beginning, I volunteered to go to Liaodong with the fourth child.

After going out to increase his knowledge, he took the initiative to go to Liaodong to join the army, and served under the two young generals who Chong Ba valued.

The young Zhou Shixian didn't know that his actions made the empress of this dynasty remember his father.

……

After the meal, everyone sat in the carriage hired by Shang Shixian.

Ma Xiuying and Xu Miaoyun sat in a carriage.

Zhu Di and Mao Xiang, the commander of Jin Yiwei who was in charge of driving the chariot, sat on the shaft of the chariot.

On the way, Mao Xiang watched Zhu Di secretly from the corner of his eyes all the way, and the corners of his lips moved several times.

Zhu Di noticed it.

But he never spoke.

Mao Xiang's identity is too sensitive, he doesn't want to make trouble for himself.

Soon, everyone arrived near the government-run school in Jiangning County.

The examination room for children's examinations is held in this school.

This school, similar to the school in Tuqiao Village, is for cultivating children.

The family of a particularly wealthy gentry and aristocratic family has ethnology.

Ordinary people in the city, if they want their children to study and test for fame, most of them will come to government-run schools.

When studying in this kind of school, the teacher will give the children a special emphasis on the content of the children's exam.

Relatively speaking, this kind of county-level government-run schools has a very high admission rate for children.

Of course, it doesn't really help.

This kind of cheating in disguise is only in the childhood stage.

County government-run schools use a method similar to cheating to increase the pass rate of children, in fact, to allow more people to study and generate income.

Yes, it is income generation.

One of the ways to generate income for the extra expenses of the county government and local school administration comes from county-level government-run schools.

Passing the children's examination is the entrance examination.

When waiting for the college exam, even if you study in various state academies, you can't cheat by delineating the scope of the exam.

Because the questions of the court examination are assigned to the imperial court's Ministry of Rites.

If you don't return to the local government, if you want to cheat at this time, you have to directly bribe the officials of the Ministry of Rites and buy exam questions. This is a particularly serious cheating.

Once discovered, a large number of people will lose their heads.

Therefore, the identity of Tongsheng is not difficult.

Passing the children's examination is equivalent to getting a primary school graduation certificate, which can only prove that you are a scholar, not illiterate.

No political treatment whatsoever.

If you pass the college examination, you are a scholar.

Xiucai already had some political perks.

Therefore, the imperial court will set a very high level of difficulty in the examination of the court, and a large number of people will be brushed off.

But anything with this sharing of political treatment.

Throughout the dynasties, they will be strictly controlled.

All, all tangible and intangible benefits are created by people and are limited.

The more people share, the more benefits will be diluted.

There are more people who share, and the people who create benefits need to shoulder a heavy burden.

The imperial court now has four or five hundred people, supporting one person who eats imperial food.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, there were probably more than 100 people, supporting one person who ate imperial food.

It is conceivable that the burden on the people is heavy.

Throughout the dynasties and at the end of the dynasties, there has always been a similar characteristic, that is, the group of people who get something for nothing and share benefits is very large.

This group, at the end of the dynasty, will not be willing to pay for the dynasty and protect the dynasty from perishing because of the benefits from it.

They will divide up the final interests of the dynasty.

Dedicate this part of the benefits to the new dynasty as political capital for promotion.

The most typical example is that in history, Chongzhen asked dignitaries and officials to donate, but only raised 20 taels.

After Li Zicheng broke the city, he received 7000 million taels of contribution.

Look, how ironic.

History has proved time and time again that it is useless to favor, go long, and expand the ruling class.

"Your Highness..."

The voice around him brought Zhu Di back to his senses.

Mao Xiang reminded: "Your Highness, we are here."

Only then did Zhu Di notice that he had already arrived at the gate of the school, and he couldn't help laughing at himself, "Father should think about these problems, why should I think about them." '

Chong Maoxiang nodded with a smile, lifted the curtain, "Mother, we're here."

A group of people got out of the car one after another.

Zhu Di asked the children to line up.

You don't need to bring pens, ink, paper and inkstones, the government will provide them.

All you need to do is simply search your body and verify your identity before entering the examination room.

Xu Miaoyun brought a few little girls, looked at the leather children who lined up with Zhu Di, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, if you don't know it, just leave it, and finish the meeting first..."

"come on!"

After encouraging the children, Xu Miaoyun walked up to the 'oldest child' and said with a smile, "Come on!"

Zhu Di smiled and stared, "Go in."

Then take the children to the door to verify their identities.

Fortunately, there are middle-aged scholars who are older than him, so he doesn't have to be particularly embarrassed.

He watched Zhu Di bring a group of children into the examination room.

Ma Xiuying said with a smile: "Miao Yun, let's go back, they won't end until the afternoon."

The amount of questions in the examination for children is very large.

The exam will not end until noon.

Xu Miaoyun really wanted to stay and wait, but her current body was not suitable.

……

afternoon.

Xu Miaoyun and Ma Xiuying arrived early.

sometime.

Ding Ding Ding!
When the copper bell rang from the yard, all the adults waiting in the carriage got down.

"Ma'am, look quickly, it's out!" Just as Xu Miaoyun and Ma Xiuying were looking around, the little maid Mingxia who kept jumping up and looking around was the first to see Zhu Di and his party, and shouted happily.

"Master, Master!"

"I saw Master, Brother Dongxu and the others!"

……

The little girls soon saw Zhu Di and the others, shouting and rushing to greet them.

"Brother Dongxu, how did you do in the exam? Was it difficult?"

"It's not difficult, except that the article is not sure how well it is written, the basic content is what my wife and master have said."

"Wang Jinmi, do you think you have passed the exam?"

"In the article, I also quoted a passage from Han Changli's collection."

……

The little girls were not worried about whether the master could pass the exam at all, and went up to meet them, and asked their peers curiously on twitter.

Zhu Di couldn't help smiling when he heard the discussions of the leather children behind him.

"Is it difficult? It took so long to come out?" Xu Miaoyun laughed and joked when Zhu Di came.

In fact, the two discussed it yesterday.

Even if Zhu Di finishes answering the test paper, he will stay in the examination room.

He is here, and the children are not nervous when they see it.

Zhu Di got angry, smiled and stared, and then greeted Ma Xiuying: "Mother."

Ma Xiuying smiled and said: "I should have passed the exam, if I haven't passed the exam, then there is no need for your father to forgive you, and mother will not forgive you first."

If the fourth child didn't pass the test for children, it must be on purpose.

If the attitude is not correct, it should be hit!
Zhu Di smiled and urged: "There are too many people here, let's get in the car first and go back to the inn to talk. When we get out, the children can't wait to check the answer with me."

Everyone got in the car and went straight to Wangxian Tower.

Because it takes one child and one child to answer.

So dinner is eaten in the room.

After matching.

Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di in disbelief, "If all the children tell the truth, except for the youngest, will they be able to pass? On the edge, the other children should all be able to pass!"

The pass rate is really high.

It can shock many people!
Zhu Di smiled, "We all know the character of the children, they can't lie to us."

Except articles.

Other questions, in fact, test more memory and comprehension skills.

Needless to say, memory.

The children received a year of memory training.

Comprehension ability is the understanding of the words of the sages. The books and all the annotations brought by Miaoyun are the annotations of the famous Confucianists in the past dynasties.

Miaoyun has read the annotations of each edition.

What is taught to children is taken from the essence of all famous masters.

This is an educational resource.

For many ordinary farming and reading heirloom families, some editions annotated by great Confucians cannot be collected.

If you can't collect it, you can't gather the directors of each family.

Ancient scholars visited celebrities and scholars, and went to borrow books from big families. Most of the reasons were to gather the directors of each family.

dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the door.

"It must be mother." Zhu Di smiled and stood up to open the door.

Sure enough, it was Ma Xiuying.

After entering the room, Ma Xiuying asked curiously, "How are the children doing in the exam?"

She and Zhongba are very concerned about these children.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun looked at each other, Zhu Di smiled and said, "It's okay."

Ma Xiuying looked at the two of them, "You can't hide the smiles of the young couple, the situation must be good, tell me it's okay, it should be modest." '

Soon, Ma Xiuying had a basic judgment.

Then she changed the subject with a smile, looked at Xu Miaoyun's stomach, and asked, "Do you want to send a midwife from the palace?"

"My queen, don't bother me so much." Xu Miaoyun shook her head with a smile, "The fourth aunt in the village is a well-known midwife in all towns and villages. She has delivered hundreds of children and is very experienced."

On the number of births.

The midwives in the palace may not be as rich as the fourth aunt.

Zhu Di supported Xu Miaoyun's choice.

And yesterday he went to Wangji Pharmacy and made an appointment with Mr. Wang.

Miaoyun immediately took Mr. Wang to Tuqiao Village as soon as there was a sign of production.

The fourth aunt who has rich experience in midwifery is in charge of midwifery.

In addition, the famous doctor of Jiangning County is in case of emergency.

This kind of arrangement, in this era, medical security is already the limit.

After hearing the plan of the young couple, Ma Xiuying felt relieved.

Zhu Di asked: "Mother, come back to the village with us tomorrow for a few days?"

"No, mother will go back to the palace tomorrow." She had to go back quickly and tell Chongba the news that the fourth child had agreed to take the test.

……

The next day, Uncle Ba and others arrived in a car shortly after dawn.

Obviously, they set off from the village in the middle of the night.

After saying goodbye to Ma Xiuying, Zhu Di and others started their return journey.

Seeing the seven carriages go away, Ma Xiuying put down the curtain and said: "Mao Xiang, let's go back too."

Mao Xiang took a deep breath, and said to himself: "It should have exploded. Stretch out your head and retract your head..."

"drive!"

The carriage started, and Mao Xiang suppressed his complicated thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Madam, did Your Highness tell you how the children are doing in the exam?"

Ma Xiuying couldn't help laughing, "He said it's okay, but I think they are being modest, so they shouldn't be worse."

'The risk of losing your head is a little less! '

Mao Xiang suddenly grinned quietly.
